It would be strange if Liu Tan could rest here peacefully. He asked, "What's going on now? What are you doing?"
The messenger knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, the King of the Northern Territory, those natives were defeated by the King's army and fled into the mountains and forests. The King's army suffered some losses in the mountains and forests. Your Majesty is trying to force these people out of the mountains and forests."
Liu Tan asked, "Do you have a map?"
Bu Fan said: "The map is at the front line, and the map here is not complete."
Liu Tan said, "Bring it here and let me see it first."
In Bu Fan's mind, when it comes to fighting, Liu Tan, as a son, may be better than his father. At least... he has really been to the battlefield.
Although many people think that His Royal Highness the King of the North relies on good luck in every battle, most people in the court do not think so. If it is luck once, is it still luck twice or three times?
Even if His Royal Highness the King of the North really doesn't know how to deploy troops, it just means that he is not obsessed with those things. It's innate!
Even if we take a step back and say that it really depends on luck, then this is even more difficult than knowing how to deploy troops.
Luck, such an intangible thing, is what people yearn for the most.
After Bu Fan asked someone to bring the map, Liu Tan lowered his head and looked at it carefully. He mainly wanted to see how big the jungle was.
However, after watching it, he gave up and thought his father was really whimsical.
The climate on this broken island is warmer and more humid than that on Jiaozhi. In addition, there are not so many mountains, resulting in the tropical rainforest being really spread out in patches. If you go in without a guide who is familiar with the location and route, you probably won't be able to get out.
Liu Tan guessed that Liu Che would surround the forest to drive out the natives, but he didn't expect the forest to be so big, and now he must be in a difficult situation.
He asked Bu Fan to put away the map and said, "Let's go."
Bu Fan quickly stopped him and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty asked you to stay and rest."
Liu Tan shook his head. "How can I rest well when my father is away on a campaign? Even though I know he's fine, I still have to see him in person to feel at ease."
Bu Fan immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness is thoughtful."
Although he said he was going to take a look, Liu Tan thought that with Liu Che's temper, he would not give up until he had completely defeated the other party, so he simply asked someone to bring his soft armor over.
As Liu Tan put on his clothes, he ordered, "Tell Mo Shi and the others to make a few dozen gunpowder barrels. I can use them."
After he gave the order, someone immediately took it and went down. Bu Fan, who was standing by, didn't know what a powder keg was, but he was smart enough not to ask. After all, he would know it eventually. Regardless of whether His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory could use it or not, he would at least have to explain to His Majesty what these things were used for. Then he would naturally know.
After donning his full set of armor, including soft armor, crossbow, sword, and dagger, Bu Fan couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Highness is truly a man of great caliber."
Liu Tan smiled and suddenly asked, "Does your Majesty have soft armor?"
Bu Fan said helplessly: "We went to sea to search for immortals, so why would we bring those things? Your Majesty is wearing bamboo armor now."
Liu Tan imagined Liu Che covered in bamboo strips and couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he felt it was inappropriate. Fortunately, there was no one else here. He quickly restrained the smile on his face and said, "In this case, I will have someone take all the extra soft armor. I believe the other soldiers don't have it either."
Even Liu Che had to wear bamboo armor with a grievance, let alone others.
Because Bu Fan insisted on going with Liu Tan, he also got a set of soft armor.
When Liu Tan walked out fully armed, Liu Fuling was just outside doing something unknown.
He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Liu Tan's outfit, and a moment of envy crossed his mind—what boy hasn't dreamed of fighting on the battlefield? Although Liu Fuling certainly didn't know that the battlefield was not beautiful at all, there was no blood boiling, only splattered blood and limbs from the mutual slaughter, which was not beautiful at all.
But he didn't know what a real battlefield looked like, and could only think of leading his troops to fight with great enthusiasm.
When Liu Tan saw Liu Fuling, he just glanced at him without giving him any extra look. He was thinking that if Liu Fuling came over to him and humiliated him again, he would really take action.
Unexpectedly, Liu Fuling turned around and left, which was really surprising.
Liu Fuling didn't go far, he just found a corner where Liu Tan couldn't see him and stared at the elite group.
At this time, the elite group had already assembled, and the sight of them standing there in such an orderly manner made everyone subconsciously take a look.
Liu Tan walked over and got on the horse directly. Maybe it was because he had to ride horses more often recently, but now he can get on and off the horse very handsomely.
Especially this horse... It was much shorter than the Ferghana horse that Lu Xuan had originally given him.
After Liu Tan mounted his horse, he raised his hand and made a gesture, and the 700 elite soldiers behind him mounted their horses in unison.
He lowered his head and said to Wei Kang, who was left behind, "Lead the remaining two hundred or so people to guard this place. Remember to be very careful."
Wei Kang nodded seriously: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely live up to your trust."
Liu Tan turned around and led his men south.
Because it was a forced march, he glanced at the situation on both sides of the road. This was mainly to remember the surrounding situation so that he could remember the route.
Although he might not need to do this with the help of his subordinates and Liu Che around, he still paid attention to it because he was afraid of any unexpected events.
He almost stopped his horse on the spot when he noticed this - if he hadn't thought that his father still needed his rescue, he might have really done so.
Because he saw a large sugarcane field. No, it should not be called a sugarcane field, it should be a wild sugarcane field.
This is all money! If he wasn't busy saving his father, he would probably stop right now and ask the elite group to transform into farmers and quickly cut down all the sugarcane to make sugar!
Anyway, sugar has a long shelf life, so there’s no problem shipping it back!
Liu Tan tried hard to remember the geographical location of the sugarcane field. At this time, his brain seemed to have automatically installed a navigation system and he remembered it firmly.
After running for a day and a night, Liu Tan finally saw the military camp where Liu Che was stationed outside the woods.
Liu Che did not expect that Liu Tan would actually bring troops here. After all, he had ordered Liu Tan to rest first.
He was so surprised that he couldn't help but walk out of the tent, and saw his son hurriedly coming in with a group of black-clad soldiers.
Lost weight.
This was Liu Che’s first thought when he saw Liu Tan.
Then he saw Liu Tan standing about twenty feet away from him, looking at him carefully with his big eyes without blinking.
Liu Che smiled and was about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he saw his son's eyes turn red and he burst into tears.
Liu Che: !!!!!!
